The BJP on Wednesday criticized Congress leader Rahul Gandhi for his comments accusing Prime Minister Narendra Modi of suppressing the voice of the Tamil people. The party labeled Rahul Gandhi's remarks as 'extremely shameful and baseless' and claimed that they exemplified separatist politics in India.

Rahul Gandhi's assertions that the Centre attempted to block actor Vijay's film 'Jana Nayagan' were called divisive by BJP spokesperson Guru Prakash Pawan during a press briefing. He urged Gandhi to refrain from engaging in divisive politics centered on region, language, and caste.

Highlighting Prime Minister Modi's efforts to promote Tamil culture nationally and internationally, the BJP spokesperson accused Gandhi of perpetuating an anti-national mindset through his comments, which they argued display a lack of sensitivity.
